What up CJ.

Way easier. But still time consuming.

Little before and after of the sharpie trick @ukswrath mentioned. Does make a difference. Hoping to have the thermal detonator done tomorrow

Cover strip for forearms being done. Also did the ab buttons

Marked spots on the belt through the holes on the belt plate.

Painting these clips and TD tube. This is just a flat black primer coat then will go over with a black gloss. Reinforcements for the back of the belt plate.

Man you are going to kill it once you get your first ABS TK kit bud. I did the same thing your doing with my Kylo Ren black series helmet. Keep up the good work.

What up Luke. Welcome to FISD.

Use a piece of sandpaper smooth down the eye openings. And are you doing bubble lenses or regular? You could also get a small thing of model grey paint and paint the frown. And some blue for the tube stripes. Good to hear your back on it.

Wow that is a good looking blaster.

good job @Architect18112 and dang @gmrhodes13 7

Put the pouches on my belt just to see how they felt and looked and they look pretty good so far. Still going to do a reinforcement strap on it also.

Ok these forearms are ready for tomorrow.

niceeeeeeee.

Yeah its cool looking. I'm going to be taking out to do my own padding my head a little big.

So I just received my skull trooper helmet and thought I would give a quick review for anyone who may be thinking of getting one. Let me start by saying WOW just great overall quality. Its nice and thick seems very sturdy. I feel like if it gets dropped it would take very minimal damage. The lens are basically hot glued in but nicely done. They are shaped and smooth no sharp corners. Also comes with a custom skull padding insert. Hovi tips look nice and are also fixed with the screw nut style so you can switch out easily if you had other plans. Paint job looks nice on it also. Only bad thing about it for me was that maybe 2 weeks after I purchased mine he ran a deal could have saved some money there. The length it took to receive was normal not super fast but not terribly long to where I had to inquire about it either. Overall I can say it was definitely worth the money. And he also offers different types for different kits. I found him on Instagram under the name skull_trooper_helmets . He showed great communication during the whole process even sending me update pictures as well. I would highly recommend to anyone looking into one. Heres some pics.

I am one happy trooper right now. My skull bucket finally arrived.

That was going to be my second option if this just doesn't do well. I already feel little iffy about the stability of it. But am just going to roll with it until it fails I guess.

Added straps to the back of pouches. I plan on adding a reinforcement strap also.

Both forearms ready for test fitting and more trimming and sanding.

Congrats trooper. I will be there one day to join you top notch centurions.

Here's how they look now. I just used a black sharpie to color over the white stitching.

Great job. Just gave you a follow on IG let me know if you want to run some battlefront/Warzone/Dayz I would squad up with you trooper.
